Tutorials are a vital part of AVID. Through the Tutorial process the students are able to collaborate and use inquiry to facilitate learning and to better understand content area material. Our Tutorials take place twice a week. Students break off into small groups and take turns presenting a question from a point of confusion they have in one of their classes. AVID tutors are present to assist and guide the process as needed. AVID students must come to tutorials prepared with their Tutorial Request Form (TRF)."AVID Tutorials and AVID Tutors Tutorials and tutors play a vital role in the AVID Elective class, while also benefiting other content-area classes in a school. As a key component to the collaboration portion of the AVID System, tutorials are a time and place where students come with complex questions from any content class and get guiding support to confront tough problems and solve them within their own means.

Using their knowledge and experience, AVID-trained tutors are able to conduct collaborative tutorials that lead to increased student participation and success. Trained tutors are able to create an environment where students feel comfortable asking the questions that they might be embarrassed to ask in their content-area classrooms.

Tutors are essential to the success of AVID, acting as a resource and role model for AVID students both academically and socially."AVID.org
